NAVA Flashcards

Q

What is NAVA

A

Mode designed to assist with spontaneous ventilation

The breath that is delivered is similar to PS but the support given is variable and proportional to spontaneous effort

The harder the patient works, the more support the ventilator delivers =POSITIVE-FEEDBACK!

The less the patient works, the less support is provided
